Freshman Rep. Addison McDowell (R-N.C.) launched laws this week to rename the Dulles Worldwide Airport (IAD) close to Washington after President Trump.
McDowell, who represents North Carolina’s sixth Congressional District, proposed the invoice on Thursday alongside Reps. Man Reschanthaler (R-Pa.), Brian Jack (R-Ga.), Riley Morre (R-W.Va.) and Brandon Gill (R-Texas).
If the laws finally ends up passing via Congress and is signed into legislation, the airport will probably be named ‘‘Donald J. Trump International Airport’’.
“We have entered the golden age of America largely thanks to President Trump’s leadership,” McDowell stated in a Thursday press launch. “It is just proper that the 2 airports servicing our nation’s capital are duly honored and revered by two of the very best presidents to have the consideration of serving our nice nation.”
Reschanthaler together with different Home Republicans proposed an analogous invoice throughout the earlier Congress. That piece of laws, which was launched in early April final 12 months, was co-sponsored by different Home GOP lawmakers, together with Andy Ogles (Tenn.), Chuck Fleischmann (Tenn.), Paul Gosar (Ariz.), Troy Nehls (Texas), Barry Moore (Ala.) and Trump’s present Nationwide Safety Advisor Mike Waltz, who served three phrases within the decrease chamber.
Dulles was named after the previous Secretary of State John Foster Dulles who served throughout the Eisenhower administration. It’s positioned in Virginia, roughly 25 miles west of D.C.
Reschanthaler stated the invoice “will cement [Trump’s] status in our nation’s capital as our fearless commander-in-chief, extraordinary leader, and relentless champion for the American people.”
